In 1834, according to a royal decree, on the basis of a parliamentary bill, the issue of a new monetar...y currency of Egypt, the pound, was launched, a currency of a larger denomination in relation to the piastres. Piastre was not withdrawn from circulation and was equated to 0.01 pounds, amounting, in turn, to 40 pairs. In 1885, the production of steam was discontinued, and in 1916 it was replaced by millimes, i.e. 0.1 piastres. All banknotes depict various mosques in Egypt. Banknotes of 25 and 50 piastres, as well as 1 pound, actually went out of circulation, just as banknotes of 5 and 10 piastres went out of circulation earlier.
